New details continue to emerge about how the final days of the Yankees\u2019 negotiations with Soto played out before the star opted to sign with the New York Mets.<\/p>\n<p>It appears the Yankees were caught by surprise about Soto\u2019s decision to join the Mets despite plenty of MLB rumors indicating this was a distinct possibility before the move was announced. USA Today\u2019s Bob Nightengale reported that the Yankees still surprisingly expected Soto to re-sign with the team before the star revealed his decision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe New York Yankees are convinced that Juan Soto was ready to re-sign with them on Dec. 11,\u201d Nightengale wrote in a May 25, 2025, story titled, \u201cMLB\u2019s best comeback story? Jacob deGrom looks like the Cy Young winner he was.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe asked for a bit more time, was going to discuss it with his family during lunch, and the next thing they knew he was signing with the Mets after being persuaded by family members.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Juan Soto Cited Skepticism About the Yankees\u2019 Future Outlook as Part of His Reason for Joining the Mets<\/h2>\n<p>Instead, Soto opted to sign a massive 15-year, $765 million contract with the Mets. During a March interview with Sports Illustrated, Soto explained his decision to join the Mets, hinting at skepticism about how good the Yankees would be in the future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs you see how long this contract is going to be, it just came down to that decision, you know?\u201d Soto noted. \u201cWhat do they have in the farm system?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow many times can we be good on this team? I know the Yankees are going to be good for the next five, six years. We don\u2019t know after that.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Juan Soto Claims His Slow Start With the Mets is Due to an \u2018Adjustment Period\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>The Mets could have a bit of buyer\u2019s remorse if Soto is unable to increase his production. Soto is hitting just .233 through his first 53 games, well below his previous .288 average with the Yankees in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>The reason for Soto\u2019s slump to start his Mets tenure? New York Post\u2019s Jon Heyman revealed details about his conversation with Soto and agent Scott Boras who cited \u201can adjustment period\u201d in relation to the slow star.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey both say that there\u2019s an adjustment period,\u201d Heyman explained, per Sports Illustrated\u2019s Blake Silverman. \u201cThey don\u2019t think that it\u2019s about the contract, the record $765 million deal, they believe it\u2019s an adjustment that would come with any situation whether he\u2019s making $765 million or $765,000.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>MLB Rumors: The Yankees Are \u2018Aggressively\u2019 Attempting to Trade for a New Third Baseman<\/h2>\n<p>The Yankees may not be done thinking about Soto, but the front office is also planning to make additional moves in the coming months. New York is attempting to land a third baseman via trade, per Nightengale.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Yankees are aggressively searching for a right-handed bat, preferably a third baseman, while also looking for another starter,\u201d Nightengale noted.<\/p>\n<p>Jonathan Adams is a veteran sports contributor covering the NFL, NBA and golf for Heavy.com.
